Poplar buds can be used to make a medicinal salve (Balm of Gilead) with purported antiinflammatory, painreducing, and wound healing properties. The buds are coated in a resinrich in salicin. Join me to harvest the buds and make wild medicine.

If you are allergic to aspirin, please do not use this salve. Always consult your doctor before trying an herbal remedy.

Remember when foraging for wild edibles to be 100% sure of what you are identifying before putting it in a recipe and/or ingesting it!! This video is for entertainment purposes only.
